We have people coming tonight to view our flat and oddly enough they are all guys (I live with another female).

I've never really interviewed anyone in this capacity before. What questions should I ask them to ascertain their living habits without coming across as being too full on? I'd like to give them a good proper grilling without seeming psychotic (hold the sarcasm here, folks - am feeling crap today).

My housemate Fionapinkstars thought I was scary but I think I was merely professional.

Always ask if they want a cup of tea? If they say no, eject them.

1) Do you take/deal drugs?
2) Can you cook? Are you veggie?
3) Are you allergic to anything?
4) Just housemates or out-and-aboutmates too?
5) What music to you like?
6) Can I burn some CDs from you?
7) Cats or dogs?
8) Where did you live before? Who with?
9) Do you have any pets/any objection to us coming home with strays?
10) How tidy are you - I'm a little bit of a clean freak but you could leave this one out.
11) Red, white or pink wine?
12) Do you have any questions about the house?

2 amazing boys who we're continuing our contract with for another year.

I may have also asked about their sex lives too. I was a bit of a nervous wreck - I had a pen and paper to make notes too. Mind you, we did interview 10 people over 2 weeks and it was to stop them all blurring into one.

don't need to move till the end of august. I like the list of questions, it's exactly the sort of thing I want to know about my potential house mates but we normally just end up going with anyone because we can't afford not to have the extra rent. we had polish people who only stayed for one night and then ran away, i think we scared them...
